nowhere lyrics

Listen, first you must travel a long dusty road
This road you shall travel will seem like nowhere
But that nowhere will turn into somewhere
Keep yo' head up Bubba, don't let nobody getchya down
'Cause that road you travel shall turn around, begin

I?ve accepted every challenge, and risen to all occasions
A country boy that?s got his shit like Randy Moss and Jason
Perhaps some of these numerals don?t fit in y'alls equation
If your opinions coincide with that you oughta save ?em

Lookin? for the greatest Southern rapper, fuck it period
Negative spirits they only keeping down a myriad
Of Satan?s substances, and my systems? still my wisdom
It never once compromised that between God and I

Never once forgotten my manners
'Cause my Mama played in public housin? Opelika, Alabama
But she had a different plan for me, Russ and Ginger
Thank the lord for Jimmy Mathis, pops he must remember us

Are you really down when those other clowns disappear
Taught me how to set the scope, shoot and leave with the deer
Man made me drink the blood and showed me life was precious
The muddy road from nowhere to somewhere is my direction

I know what it?s like to be nowhere
I know what it?s like
I know what it?s like to be nowhere
I know what it?s like

Can you relate the five kids? Six fish sticks on the plate
All writin? to Santa Claus, I guess he got the list too late
Or to catch the fish you bait the hook with lil? Dylan?s poo-poo
On Mr. Allen?s property, he catch you, he will shoot you

Let these cats amuse you with comical depictions
But where I?m from being broke is no honorable affliction
Love some Jimmy Carter but we never even voted
But slum is still slum, so you best believe we told it

Every five armed from AK?s to 30-30?s
And from live watch to live stock they pays the early birdy
Thus we worked the land like you worked the block with yayo
But I choose keys over cattle 'cause the profits way more

But I might get locked away though peddling the sno cones
So we keep it simplified with papers of that homegrown
It?s the finest shine that you can find on this side of Memphis
From east nowhere to west somewhere still the grind is endless

I know what it?s like to be nowhere
I know what it?s like
I know what it?s like to be nowhere
I know what it?s like

It all comes down to this, one last chance to advance
Beyond the second round of the big dance, all my plans
Of being viewed as something special, more than just the other one
We?ll vanish in the papers and the plague the South has suffered from

The world?s weight plus a ton, restin? on my shoulders
But what the trackers de my curse, is blessed to the beholder
'Cause Eminem?s incredible but did I really have to say this
For ya?ll to leave my soul at rest and add me to your playlist

But this time I may just, leap and clear that hurdle man
'Cause there?s gonna be a million more
Who knows if they?ll be worth a damn
Bubba K, I surely am, with that silky kinda sound
Carson Daily host it out, I?ll be early for this time around

'Cause I?ve come too far for my own mistakes to quell me
'Cause looking back at self improvement proves an aching ailment
'Cause nothing they can tell me will get me somewhere in a hurry
But if I?m nowhere, then that nowhere be nowhere near worry
Okey dokey

I know what it?s like to be nowhere
I know what it?s like
I know what it?s like to be nowhere
I know what it?s like

I know what it?s like to be nowhere
I know what it?s like
I, I know what it?s like
Know what it?s like
I know what it?s like to be nowhere
